The Heartland Institute’s Donald Kendal, Jim Lakely, Justin Haskins, and Chris Talgo present episode 395 of the In The Tank Podcast. There have been a slew of articles recently suggesting the U.S. Dollar is quickly losing its status as world reserve currency. How likely is this and how will it effect you? The ITT crew discusses this important topic. Also, is it just a coincidence that this development is occurring at the same time as plans for the “digital dollar” ramp up? How quickly are we approaching a world where you don’t even own the money you use on a daily basis?
